Our service ought to be positive. Every day brings with it
some chance to help. If your service can not be great, let
it be small, only let it be service in some way for the good
of another and for the glory of God. An old Scotch woman in
Edinburgh was arrested as a suspicious character. She was seen
furtively picking some things from the sidewalk and putting them
beneath her shawl. On examination it was found that the articles
were only little bits of glass. Questioned, she replied that she
was only picking up the stray pieces of glass that they might
not cut the bairnies’ feet.
Remember, there is glass to be taken from life’s highways; there
are thorns to be uprooted and roses to be planted.--JOEL B.
